Spin isn't evil, it's opportunistic. The average person should be able to recognize whether it's raining or if someone is pissing on you. That's when spin loses it's power.
So "opportunism" isn't evil? That's a strange statement.
If you've read the article, you'd know that I just use the word 'evil' because people in our society do, not because I even believe in the concept.
If something isn't evil because it is possible to defend yourself from it, does that mean beating someone to death with your fists isn't 'evil' if you could learn martial arts or get a gun to defend yourself?
